These are the streets I was born and raised on. Times there has changed so much since I came along. Its not another place in Brooklyn like it.
*This is where Mike Tyson was Raised.*
*Hard times make Hard Men,*
*Hard men make Easy times,*
*Easy times make Soft Men,*
*Soft Men make Hard times...*
True
The place that raised me. It's also the home of the Lo-Lifes
Thank you for this. I grew up in the Ville and I live in VA now. This is a perfect vision of Nostalgia. I love my home. But you forgot Bristol street lol
Thank you! I was born in Brownsville 1968...Brookdale hospital.. Grandparents hit the number n moved to Hollis Queens 1978..always went back home though.. . Marcus Garvey.. Van Dyke...Hollis Crew Live and direct but will always rep The Vill.... Never ran... Never will.

Beautiful vid.
great idea for a video.. i was feeling home sick so here i am
Born in Brownsville, 1951. Went through elementary school at PS 175. Played in the streets. Swam at Betsy Head Pool. We were Black, White and Latino. It was an ok place to grow up. Sad to know things are so different now.
you know Tommy and henry?
At least it's not as bad as it used to be in the 90s.
Wow
❤
I didthe same in 1984 to like 1991 father shot and killed in 1988
Found out about Brownsville through the rapper KA...then seen they mention it on that HBO show called the night of..good show. Love from cali
that cloudy weather lol. no sunshine for brownsville.
I agree. Summer day when everyone is out would’ve been the true scene
brings back memories.
Awesome video. :D
Been all over the world.Still no place like Brownsville. So many good childhood memories!
brooklyntaurus1 left this Shit hole 23yrs ago & havent been back! Houston is the Place for me The Hell with NY🖕
@@chalkyblack7582 I’m in Mo City.
I like Brownsville. theres some lovely trees there.
Such a lovely, family-friendly place.
I can't understand, is this a joke or you are serious?
You can't recognize sarcasm?
Chile I lived in Brownsville during the time when the L train stations was getting renovated my station was sutter Brownsville ain’t no joke my aunt and cousins live near Garvey they always popping off there
Brownsville the most dangerous place in new York city
used to be but now its E Flatbush 90s
John Wayne DEADASS
Chin Chilla I live their
Taurean Lewis who gives a fuck if its the most dangerous place, its nothing to brag about. Instead of hoping it to become better
Dave jahoer Taurean didn’t say that...
I really like this video clip
Thi is very cool except try looking at these same streets in the late 1960's through around 1985 it eas a totally different scene. Burned out buildings, dirty streets. damaged roads, garbage. junk yard dogs, old cars and tires littering the sidewalks. Just old gritty broken down buildings. There is NO video on youtube of how it was in the 70;s.I used to drive around there. If you took the #3 at New lots or the LL at Sutter in the 70s or 80s you KNOW how it USED to be.
Yes it is a video on here in the 1970s
manmann lee www.okayplayer.com/news/masta-ace-dear-diary-episode-1-video.html
Thanks. if you freeze that video link you posted at 0:16 ..that is the reality the city has locked away..sad .but that is how many streets looked.
yeah you never lied about that thats how I was when I was growing up there a bunch of abandoned buildings trash all over the place crack valve drug needles all over the ground yeah it was hell on earth there
manmann lee Yes. There was a polluting sanitation dump up on Flatlands where Starrett City is now./ where they drag race (or did).
\.. Louisiana and Alabama ave had old junk yards, They used to mark old buildings with a "X" to be torn down. Sometimes whole blocks. Not sure when they started to rebuild-probably mid 90s. A friend used to work for CON ED and said -you would not believe the basements in the 80s..he was dodging rats all day. I used to eat at fast food burger places long gone there called "Wetsons" On pennsylvania . Ave and Farrells" Peace.
the music was fire
Brownsville is a nice place to go to school and to live in especially if u live in Marcus Garvey apartments if u go outside there is always people to play with, the schools are AMAZING ESPECIALLY PS 446 known as Riverdale avenue community school u might have seen the step on the news.
Also former undisputed heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe and former champion Shannon Briggs are from Brownsville.

Looking for a man that lived near Mother Gaston, he went by the name Mars back in 1989. He had a friend that lived there too named Ozone or Izon. I was a young 17 year old girl and ran away from my home in Baltimore, he saved my life.
I've been living in Brownsville for 34 years born and raised on 180 Powell St. I used to go to smart kids to buy my video games on Pitkin Avenue I just recently moved to Staten Island like 6 years ago
Jungles Bongles 😂😂What??
Haha
7:14 music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bruh all these comments I lived in Brownsville my whole life and I never got racially slurred cuz I'm latino/black... Like cmon now it's really not as bad as ppl think 😂 there may be a shooting here and there bur as time goes by ull get used to it..I'm only 11 and know Brownsville like the back of my hand grow up people!!!
Killamaru 2Swag facts I live there with my brother and we get along with everyone there only because my uncles are known there alot
As they say "if you don't live there, then you got no business being there." You probably know a lot of the people in your area, you have family, you belong. The people who REALLY are in trouble are the idiots that don't belong there, cuz they stick out like a sore thumb. They don't know the areas to avoid and they don't know what signs to look out for. But if you don't get any problems living in Brownsville then god bless ya. Hope things stay that way.
Charles Darwin YES!!! Loitering!
Charles Darwin thnx vroo

Brownsville hoodz 3>
you forgot royal destuction who are like the first young group to be sign from brownsville on b-boy record kingchris lordkl and cutmasterhowie how rose family and 7 universal all facts we most know our brownsville history
NYC has terrible zoning laws.
Original Gangs: Tomahawks & Lil Tomahawks (b4 Guardian Angels)
Most of these streets and building look pretty nice and well-kept. For this to be the most dangerous neighborhood in NYC is quite an accomplishment. After traveling throughout Central and South America, this totally pales in comparison to a third world ghetto. At least these people have four walls and a roof over their heads. The people I saw in Panama, Guatemala, etc lived in burned out tin shacks without electricity or running water. They could only dream of the luxury of a government subsidized housing project.
Iooks are deceiving ..i lived in Brownsville 1966-1992 now i live in newark and newark is filthy as hell and so is the way some people dress ..Brownsville is cleaner and the people dress way better ..but people no lie Brownsville people have very nasty messed up attitudes. .newark people will rob you of course ..steal nails out of a banded building bcuz its so poor here ..but Brownsville people are f****d up individuals. .
+Jj Cc Brownsville - along with Soundview (Bronx) LOOKS better than it did but it's still a hellhole.Brownsville - unlike Bushwick, Williamsburg, or Bed Sty will NEVER Gentrify due to the LARGE number of NYCHA projects and the subhuman slime who live there.
Brownsville has the highest density of projects in the entire city. Built starting in 1934, a terrible experiment and idea, a hotbed of crime from the get go. There's so much history there, and it doesn't begin recently, it begins in 1875. It was never a great place to live, but once it was special, in a positive way..
Gentrifiers will run home fast if they get too close to B'ville. This is a third world existence, with real violence, not video game stuff.
America has money, South America doesn’t. Many of these people never been to South America or no other third world country, they don’t know that you fin for yourself in third world countries. No projects, no welfare, no food stamps, no section 8. And because of that, they are far more dangerous. Brownsville is dangerous, Baltimore is dangerous but not dangerous like slums in South America or even Jamaica. Two different types of danger. They don’t understand object poverty desperation.
in 60 years if someone watches this all they will will see are fuzzy people
BULLSHIT IS WAS BORN IN THE 70'S THAT PLACE IS NICE........................
John Gotti was born and raised in brownsville
No room for the weak in brownsville
Brownsville was not dangerous
Come to brownsville at night time and walk around these projects then
I'm originally from the East and Knew & know people from there - So relax you pupput
